Another Man-Sized Shirt (Custom Order)

Whew! This one has been lying dormant for a little while, due to Christmas secrets; can’t risk letting the cat out of the bag too soon! So, my brothers are all man-sized now. And, as most of my siblings are all grown and out on their own, we do a name exchange for Christmas. This year, I had one of my brothers who is a language-lover. He’s studying cultures and languages and it seemed like a great gift idea to make him a shirt to reflect that!

I decided to go with bunches of translations of the word “Welcome”. Thanks to Google Translate, I can be sure I’m spelling things correctly (though, I admit to being less than certain that these are the correct form, but it’s the thought, right?). Here’s the list of languages I came up with:

Mirëseardhje – Albanian

Arabic:

ترحيب

স্বাগত – Bengali

欢迎 – Chinese

Fáilte – Irish

Bienvenue – French

Mai – Maori

καλωσόρισμα – Greek

Benevento – Italian

환영- Korean

Akeyi – Haitian

And here’s the end result:
